Hope Rescue

Ash is the confident explorer of the duo. He loves nothing more than heading out for a woodland stroll where he can sniff every interesting scent along the way. He enjoys curling up beside his favourite people after a day of adventures and is always ready to make you smile with his playful personality. Ash can occasionally become overwhelmed in busy situations, so he will thrive in a calm home with a predictable routine.Brock is the gentler, more sensitive half of the pair. The world can feel a little daunting to him at times, and new experiences often require patience, reassurance and encouragement. Since arriving with us his confidence has blossomed, and one of the biggest reasons for that has been having Ash by his side. Brock adores carrying his toys around, enjoys quiet sniffy walks, and once he trusts you, he becomes incredibly affectionate, leaning in for cuddles and happily soaking up all the fuss he can get.Ash and Brock would love a quieter home in a more peaceful area where they can enjoy relaxed walks without the hustle and bustle of busy environments. They are looking for adopters who understand that Brock may need a little extra time to adjust to his new surroundings and that both boys will benefit from patience, consistency and positive, reward-based training as they continue to build their confidence.They could live with sensible children aged 10 years and over who understand when dogs need space, but they are looking to be the only pets in the home so they can enjoy all of your love and attention together.If you have a calm home, plenty of patience and room in your heart for two wonderful best friends, Ash and Brock are ready to begin their next chapter with you.

Are you right for Benson?Benson is on the lookout for an active home to keep up with him where he can live with adults only. He can be nervous around other dogs and is learning how to socialise so would like to be the only dog in the home and he wouldn’t suit living with cats either. He could live with small pets if kept separately from him. Benson can be wary of new people and is also worried around traffic so would be best suited to a home that has access to quiet walks or secure fields. Adopters that are happy to keep him on the lead would suit him best and due to this he would love his own private & secure garden to run around freely in. A home that can keep his time alone minimal and help build this up at his own pace would be great and that also have the ability to separate him when visitors are around.Is Benson right for you?Benson is our gorgeous 1-year-old Border Collie who is looking for his forever home to help build up his confidence, take things slow and really meet his activity levels! He is a very sweet boy who loves to play with tennis balls and although he has been quite overwhelmed whilst with us he is getting braver and braver each day. If you have the right amount of time, patience and love to put into training this nervous boy and taking care of his mental and physical enrichment then this is the companion for you.

Bess is a seven year old medium sized crossbreed (looks similar to a collie) looking for an active home. Sadly her owner passed away and she’s not getting on with one of the other dogs she’s now living with. She is great with children 2 upwards and we would happily rehome her with children of that age. She is a no to cats/small furries and initially at least would be better suited as an only dog. Meets can be in Alcester or South Yorkshire

Are you right for Billy?Billy is a handsome five-year-old Collie cross Labrador looking for a loving home with adult adopters. Billy is looking to be the only dog in the home and will need a home without cats, small furries or livestock. Billy has a successful introduction plan for visitors to the home. As he can be worried by unfamiliar people coming in the home unannounced, he is seeking a quieter home without lots of visitors. He is happy to be left alone for a few hours at a time, is fully housetrained, and travels well in the car. Billy has been forming bonds more quickly with women, while he takes a little longer to build trust with men. Once he gets to know someone, he is a wonderfully loyal and affectionate companion. Potential adopters will need to visit the centre a couple of times to get to know Billy before taking him home, helping him build confidence and form a lasting bond.Is Billy right for you?Billy greets the people he knows with excitement and a waggy tail. He is incredibly affectionate and adores a fuss. Once he feels safe and settled, there's nothing he loves more than curling up beside you on the sofa for a snuggle. His foster carer describes him perfectly, saying, "He's sooo lovely. He loves snuggles, kisses and is always so happy!" Billy is currently thriving in a quiet foster home where he enjoys a peaceful lifestyle. His favourite adventures include exploring fields, woodland walks, and trips to quiet beaches, especially if there's water to splash around in! He much prefers calm environments, as busy or noisy places can make him feel worried. Billy enjoys playing with his toys, especially a game of ball, and he's very food motivated. While he'll happily accept any tasty treat, chicken is definitely his favourite! He already knows "sit", "paw", "down", "leave", and "stay", has a great name response, and enjoys learning with positive, reward-based training. Billy isn't used to socialising too much with other dogs and can find them worrying, so he prefers to keep his distance when out and about and he walks on by. Billy is looking for adopters who will continue to build his confidence and enjoy everything that makes him special. In return, they'll gain a loving, loyal companion who will reward their kindness with endless affection, happy tail wags, and plenty of snuggles.

Are you right for Blue?Blue is an absolutely gorgeous boy bursting with charm and oodles of potential. He's true smarty-pants and loves to learn new things, especially when there are treats involved (and he’s definitely not picky about those!). His enthusiasm for training makes him a joy to work with and a brilliant companion for someone keen to continue his learning journey. Blue also loves playing with his favourite toys, and enjoys getting out and about and would make a wonderful partner for outdoor adventures! Blue can become overwhelmed around other dogs, and is currently looking for a home where he will be the only pet. While he isn't able to live with other dogs at present, he may benefit from continued positive socialisation once he has had time to settle and decompress in his new home. Blue is also looking for an adult-only home in a quieter area where he can enjoy a predictable routine and access to his own secure garden. Blue struggles with sharing his favourite things, so his new family will need to be committed to continuing his training and helping him build confidence through positive reinforcement. As a dog who will require regular grooming throughout his life, it's important that his new family understand that he can find grooming a little worrying and are prepared to help him feel comfortable with this over time.Is Blue right for you?Blue is affectionate, fun-loving, bright and full of potential. Given the chance to leave kennel life behind and settle into a patient, understanding home, we believe Blue will truly flourish and show just what a wonderful companion he can be.

Meet lovely Bluey, who, although initially she can be quite shy, once she warms up to people, she is the most affectionate baby. Bluey has a wonderful history of being friendly and affectionate with everyone, including the children and cats in the home. She can find new situations, dogs and people quite scary, she is looking for an owner with previous experience with dogs who will be dedicated to teaching her that the world is not such a scary place! Bluey is quite worried of other dogs and has reacted towards them on occasion. She is not currently looking to live with other dogs but would benefit from some steady dog friends in the local area. Bluey previously lived with 8 cats and took it all in her stride. She could live with another dog savvy cat. She also lived with children and was friendly and polite. She has since proven herself to be quite a sensitive soul, so we believe it would be best for her to live with teenagers who will give her space if needed.Bluey is currently quite frightened of the outside world so will require a private garden space where she can desensitise to the nearby sounds and smells at her own pace. With the right love and support Bluey's confidence will continue to grow into the affectionate, loving companion she's destined to be. If you have already completed our online rehoming form and would like to know more about Bluey, you can e-mail our rehoming team on rehoming@battersea.org.uk to register your interest.

She likes to meet people and will be friendly, but much prefers playing with her friends over getting fuss. She is a big toy lover, and will bring her toys to you to throw! Boots will happily settle down and relax after a bit of playtime, but will also be up for going out on fun, sniffy walks. She has had a sheltered life so far, but is brave despite this. She is happier in a quieter environment, so would love to live in a calm home where she can spend some time on her own if she fancies it. Boots is a lovely girl, and will make a great companion!Is Boots right for you?Boots is a sweet girl who loves to snuggle up following a nice walk and play session. She would like a quieter home, and would particularly enjoy spending time in her own private garden to fetch her toys. Boots may need a bit of reminding with her house-training, and will prefer for her people to be around for most of the time while she settles in. She can then have any leaving hours built up slowly. Boots walks well on the lead, and will be a great pal to have in the home. She cannot wait to chill out on the sofa to live out her golden years!

All Creatures Great And Small

Meet Cai, a charming young boy ready for a new adventure!This handsome pup hails from a working line and has a genuine enthusiasm for training. However, his attention span can be short. When he’s had enough, he playfully lets you know by grabbing his favourite toy and tossing it at you, using your head or back as a target is one of his favourite tricks! But don’t worry, he quickly shifts back to “let’s play fetch for ages!” mode. Cai is more motivated by toys than treats, though his interest can vary based on his environment and mood.Cai would thrive with active adopters who have plenty of space and understand the needs of collies. He requires exercise, mental stimulation, enrichment, and training to flourish. This spirited boy loves living life in the fast lane, and his new family will need to keep up!

Coapy is a handsome fella who originally came to us for rehoming due to a house move. He’s a Border Collie x Munsterlander… meaning he is intelligent, and likes to be kept busy!Prior to coming to us, Coapy wasn’t walked much. This has left him with anxieties about the outside world, and he will react to sounds etc. He gets very stressed and would need a home where he can get plenty of exercise in the garden and mental stimulation to keep him busy… until he feels more comfortable. It was reported that Coapy was reactive to cars when out on walks – whilst we haven’t seen any signs of this whilst he’d been in out care, it is something that his adopters would need to be aware of.Coapy seems to be good with other dogs, and has lived with cats in his previous home.. so may be able to share his home with other pets again. He has lived with children, and could live with children again (8yrs and over).Coapy is incredibly friendly, and affectionate… he loves people and will do anything for a cuddle! He really enjoys spending time with our volunteers, and he’s a firm favourite amongst them! He gets lots of enrichment activities including puzzle feeders, snuffle mats and noise boxes.His previous owner reported that Coapy did have some separation anxiety, so he would be better in a home where he wont be left for long periods… he would need further work to help him to feel comfortable being left alone.We did rehome Coapy, but sadly it didn’t work out for a couple of reasons – mainly his anxiety when out on walks, causing him to be very pully and not focus on anything. But separation anxiety was also a problem too. He did share the home with several cats and another dog that he was fine with.
